I want to share an email I received from Escrow.com late last week. I have a payment plan deal in effect at Escrow.com, and the email was to notify the buyer and me about a banking change that will impact payments. Here’s an excerpt from the email with the key information:
Web.com Job: Strategic Aftermarket Sales Executive
Web.com posted a job opportunity I want to share with readers. The Jacksonville, Florida-based company is looking to hire a Strategic Aftermarket Sales Executive.

Job Opening: Senior Product Manager at Amazon Registry Services
I saw a job opportunity on LinkedIn that might appeal to someone with experience in the business of domain names. Amazon Registry Services, Inc. (ARSI) is hiring a Sr. Program Manager.

Michael Berkens Shares Insight About Investing in New gTLDs
Alvin Brown shared a full recap of his experience at the Ashville Domain Investor meetup organized by Rick Schwartz. It’s a nice summary of the event, and it will serve as an endorsement of the event should Rick decide to host again next year. Within his article, Alvin posted a video featuring a talk by Michael Berkens, who shared his thoughts, experiences, and insight regarding new gTLD domain names and investing in that asset class.
I am glad Alvin took the video, and I hope he doesn’t mind my sharing it below. I think it deserves to be highlighted on its own.
